Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNET, July 12.-While returning from
campmeeting Sunday night, with thirteen
passengers, the omnibus was capsized
about mile from town, caused by the
horses shying to one side and running the
wheels upon a slight elevation on the side
of the road. The result of the accident
was djslocating the shoulder of Mrs. j. G.
Cook, and otherwise bruising her up.
Mrs. Hartley had her back sprained and
slight cash cut on the side of her head.
The others escaped with few scratches
and considerable amount of fright.
The omnibus itself is unrecognizfble.
Campmeeting closed Sunday night, with
twenty-five additions to the church, and
much good to the community. The in.
terest throughout the meeting was great,
and but for the Marble Falls encam pment
coming at this time, the meeting would
hold on longer, and the result been much
greater than it was.
The Baptist brethren also closed
their protracted meeting Sun
day night, the Rev. Mr.. Jordan,
of Lockhart, preached series of inter
esting and instructive sermons, and made
a good impression on all who were so for
tunate as to hear him.
Mrs. Nelson, the party arrested several
days since, charged with assault, gave
bond yesterday in the sum of 5000 to ap-
pear at the next term of county court in
stead of district court, as reported in our
first notice of the affair.
